1. EuCARD-2 is co-funded by the partners and the European Commission under Capacities 7th Framework Programme, Grant Agreement 312453 WP9 TNA MagNet Marta Bajko Co-leader of the WP9 of EUCRAD 2 Section Leader of the Test Facility CERN within the Technology Department Magnets Superconductors and Cryostats group x 2nd Annual Meeting

2. WP 9 TNA MagNet x 2nd Annual Meeting Within EUCARD 2 TransNational Access CERN extended access to SM18 infrastructures to test superconducting magnets and/or specific low temperature instrumentation. CERN offers infrastructure and/or equipment and expert support The budget from FP7 is used to installations, dismantling, transport of heavy equipment for test and for travel expenses of users Users may profit from a stimulating environment @ CERN often hosting conferences and workshops in a specific subjects and offering free access to participation to them

3. INFRASTRUCTURE with the new comer 6 operational horizontal benches @ 14 kA @ 1.9 K LN 2 tank Cryostat borrowed from RF Magnet Flushing Station recuperated from LHC Main Magnet series tests activity Transfer lines recuperat ed from CRG Control Room Temporary placed in the parking area 2-3 operational vertical cryostats @ 20 kA @ up to1.9 K HFM cryostat 20 kA power converter Control Room Valve box DAQ Cold buffer Cryogenic Control Cryogenic rack 10 kA power converter Pumping line 20 kA water cooled cables Horizontal test benches Vertical test cryostats Magnet test @ LN 2 x 2nd Annual Meeting Cryogen Free Cryostat

4. Cryogenic connection on the side 30 kA current leads Integrated He heat exchanger Lambda plate Civil engineering work, due to the limitation of the building ceiling @ 5.05 m Working @ -3 m depth Cryogenic buffer and valve box Energy extraction (switch and dump for 30 kA) Power converters combination CE work started in Jan. 2015 till Aug 2015 On going INFRASTRUCTURE Upgrade

5. The User Selection Panel remained the same TNA User Selection Panel was established to select users based on the scientific quality and feasibility of their proposals. The panel is composed of representatives of the facility, of the EuCARD-2 project ( M. Bajko) and also international experts in the field of magnets and instrumentation Dr. Luis Garcia Tabares ( SP) Dr. Vinod Chohan ( CH) x 2nd Annual Meeting

6. Aproved MagNet projects we have 1 new 1.FOSxCRYO (Fiber Optic Sensors FOR CRYogenic ApplicatiOns and Superconducting Magnets) Project leader: Dr. Andrea Cusano UNIversity of Sanio (IT) 7 members ( It + Hu) > 400 access requested 2. ThMo_Nb 3 Sn (N UMERICAL MODELLING OF N B 3 S N MAGNETS FOR PARTICLE ACCELERATORS ) Project leader: Dr. Fabrizzio Bellin UNIversity of Udine (IT) 5 members ( IT+ USA) > 400 access requested 3. AMIT_Mag HeBP (AMIT Magnet Helium Bath Performance) Project leader: Dr. Fernando Toral CIEMAT (SP) 5 members (all SP) 200 access requested finished ongoing 4. ContSysTempSens (Control System for Temperature Sensors ) Project leader: Dr. Vardaine Szarka Angela University of Debrecen (HU) 4 members (all HU) >400 access requested new. started new. started x 2nd Annual Meeting

7. ContSysTempSens @ MagNet Aim of the project is development and realization of hardware and software to monitor sensor signals, in an automatic and reliable way, in order to verify the integrity and correct cabling of the whole equipment instrumentation. The aim is to simplify the way to perform the measurements, allowing operators to perform electrical tests in a fast and effective way, as well as to keep track of reporting information. ContSysTempSens (Control System for Temperature Sensors ) Project leader: : Dr. Vardaine Szarka Angela University of Debrecen (HU) 4 members (all HU) >400 access requested x 2nd Annual Meeting

8. Status of the WP 9 MagNet in numbers Abouth 1136 (1920) accesses given 4 (8) projects 8 universities and institutes 4 countries ( IT, SP, HU, USA ) 15 (64) users 25 travels to CERN Nearly 60 % of the planned accesses has been given 1 st access granted 20th of November 2013 Administration is representing more work load than expected but now is going well. Thanks the team of SVETLOMIR! ( Livia and Sabrina) Access to CERN is more complicated than expected. No shuttle service is assured by CERN to the facility !!!! x 2nd Annual Meeting
